Domaine Mosse 2023 Overmars
Notes from the importers - Living Wines:
The first macerated Chenin Blanc made by Joseph and Sylvestre after they became responsible for the domaine, this cuvée was a great success from day 1. Even so they tend to try a slight variation in the vinification with each vintage. This year 70% of the cuvée was destemmed and macerated for 6 days with daily punching down by hand. The other 30% was a whole bunch semi-carbonic maceration. It was gently pressed after drawing the juice and then settled for 24 hours. The pressed and free-run juice were aged together in stainless steel vats. It was bottled in June 2024. The vines were planted in 2001 in Beaulieu-du-Layon in complex soils with clay, gravel and alterites of schist on schist. It's only just an orange wine. The Mosse notes are "refreshing like an iced tea".
